Avi Gabbay, Chairman of the Zionist Union and Leader of the Labor Party recently stepped forward with a plan to rescue the Palestinian Authority (PA) from its timely death. Before jumping all over his completely unfathomable plan, let us first go to the PA for their assessment of the current situation. The easiest way to do this will be to quote Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), a recognized terror organization, Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi. Hanan Ashrawi has stated, “The U.S. Administration seems to be following Netanyahu’s instructions to gradually dismantle the one agency that was established by the international community to protect the rights of the Palestinian refugees and provide them with essential services. This administration is thereby targeting the most vulnerable segment of the Palestinian people and depriving the refugees of the right to education, health, shelter and a dignified life,” as quoted by the Palestinian Arab news agency Wafa.

Hanan Ashrawi added that with this decision it “is also creating conditions that will generate further instability throughout the region and will demonstrate that it has no compunction in targeting the innocent. Once again the U.S Administration proves its complicity with the Israeli occupation by attempting to remove another permanent status issue off the table.” Her references are to the recent decisions and statements by President Trump with his recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel and starting the process for moving the United States embassy to Jerusalem. Additionally, President Trump has decided that supporting UNRWA is counter-productive to the finding of a lasting peace. President Trump has in different Tweets and statements recognized the facts that the curriculum produced by UNRWA is formulated to produce terrorists to be thrown to destroy Israel and kill Israelis. UNRWA was also designed to perpetuate and increase the numbers of refugees by passing the refugee status from one generation to the next into perpetuity thus increasing the total numbers of refugees. They also do everything possible to basically incarcerate the refugee population preventing them from leaving their imprisoned enclosures defining the camps which are ringed with fences and concertina-wire. The entire raison d’être of UNRWA is to preserve and increase to the furthest extremes possible the numbers of refugees by incorporating every possible individual into the list of refugee such that their numbers alone could completely swamp Israel altering the demographics thus ending the Jewish majority and thus destroying the Jewish State. The entire intent of the Palestinian Arab society has been from the start not their stated desire for their own independent state but to destroy the Jewish State of Israel.

First, President Trump has taken the Jerusalem card off the table with his recognition of Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel, the Historic Capital of Israel with a three-thousand year history in Jewish history. Then he defunded UNRWA casting it as, not merely unproductive, but completely counter-productive and having worked contrary to its presumed intended purpose. His description of UNRWA is a complete failure in recognizing any normative goal of caring for and resettling refugees as is the main function of every other refugee organization throughout history. The complete failure of UNRWA to productively care for the Palestinian refugees was the reason for their defunding by President Trump and it can be expected that initially there will be other nations and international institutions which will take up the deficit caused by President Trump’s move. With time supporting the additional funding for UNRWA will weigh heavily on those picking up the United States’ over one-third of a billion dollars annually as their base mark and close to one-third of the entire UNRWA budget, the nations picking up that much of the budget will find it onerous forcing them to abandon this increase and many likely to simply end their UNWRA funding all-together following the United States move. Simply defined, the United States ending UNWRA funding will most likely result in the defunding of UNWRA by most of their donors.

The one means of keeping UNWRA operating would be for the United Nations to take up the entirety of the funding for UNRWA adding that to its already over-bloated budget. Once UNWRA has to cut services, the refugees will start to disperse and basically melt into the rest of the world either returning to their original country of origin joining families already established. Others will head to new lands in Europe or North America or elsewhere eventually solving the Palestinian refugee problem as it should have been addressed seventy-five years ago. So, that makes two of the most troublesome cards, Jerusalem and Refugees, off the table making finding a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli problem far less complicated. Less complicated also means that the Palestinian Arab position is less of a threat to Israel and about to start a steady shrinking as UNRWA refugees start to seek other solutions to their situation other than waiting for their relocating in such a way as to destroy Israel. The end of UNRWA and the removing of Jerusalem by recognizing it as the Capital of Israel will terminate the ability for the Palestinian Authority to continue to threaten the very existence of Israel. The Palestinian Arab leadership must now face making some agreement which is acceptable to Israel as well as themselves before Israel can simply ignore the Palestinians as their ever weakening position soon leads to their having no real reason for a state. The only change required now would be to apply Israeli civil rule over the areas of Judea and Samaria (Jordanian named West Bank) which would allow for the Arabs who desire relocating back to their nation of origin joining their families and former communities or finding a new place to restart their lives without the fear of the death penalty they now face for selling their properties to any non-Arab. Polls have shown as many as two-thirds of Palestinian Arabs would relocate to another country if they could sell their homes and properties to Israelis or even Europeans or any non-Arab without facing a death sentence as soon as even a rumor surfaces that they intend on selling their property, often a sentence executed by vigilante justice permitted and sanctioned by the PA.

So, now back to Avi Gabbay, Chairman of the Zionist Union and Leader of the Labor Party, and his intention for a great surrender. He recently spoke at a “diplomatic” conference and repeated the messianic mantra that he saw “the two-state solution for two peoples as the solution for our security.” He spoke that Israel should permit the formation of an Arab state within the lands which Jordan occupied for nineteen years until the Six Day War and its liberation by Israeli forces. He referenced the oppression that the “West Bank” Arabs, 95% of whom live under self-rule, live under as repeatedly referenced in the furtive imaginations of the European Union and leftists worldwide. What Avi Gabbay ignores, as usual, is the immediate threat such a state would pose to Israel. But that would be the least of the threats, as Avi Gabbay also believes that he has a better idea to salvage the UNRWA refugees before President Trump’s defunding works for depopulating the refugee camps by relocating the entirety of the five million plus as well as any other Arabs who desire, after the establishment of the Arab entity, to relocate and join the warfare against the existence of Israel. We have a special picture (shown below) which depicts the likely result of placing an Arab entity which would, more likely than not, become ruled by Hamas, just as occurred in Gaza, and they fired even the most simple rockets with merely a ten mile range, sufficient to reach the Mediterranean Sea from the Judean hills overlooking Tel Aviv where the width of Israel is approximately nine miles. This would be the result from allowing an Arab state along the Green Line as Avi Gabbay is suggesting. This is his answer to Mahmoud Abbas throwing temper tantrums, insulting President Trump and threatening the President’s family with the Arabic curse of, “May your house be demolished,” which infers that your entire extended family be thrown into the street left to scrape and beg living as humiliating a life as possible. Talk about burning your bridges behind you.

Tel Aviv Now Before Green Line PeaceandTel Aviv the Day After Green Line Peace

This should settle the talk and claims by the very same Avi Gabbay about how the Zionist Union is as Zionist, if not more Zionist than Likud, Bayit Yehudi and all the other parties. We would love to know how Avi Gabbay defines Zionist, because we fear it is very different from our definition. We define Zionist as one who believes in the State of Israel as defined by our Prophets and observing the dictates of Hashem in Torah to settle all of the lands. The heart of those lands is Judea and Samaria and centered on Jerusalem. There are over twenty Arab states making up their colonial empire, the last of the empires, and a single Jewish nation which has existed in perpetuity simply waiting for its children to return. Their return in 1948 was predicted over two-thousand years ago, as we explained in detail in our article titled, “It’s Nothing Personal, We Just Hate You.” The return is an ongoing affair and the world is approaching an obvious critical juncture where the future could go either direction, a world which congeals peaceably and mankind enters an age approaching perfection or devolves into a chaotic turmoil of war and vengeance. We have described these potential futures across numerous articles and will likely do so again in the future. What this future does not include in the final result precludes an Arab state west of the Jordan River. Perhaps that is the reason behind the strangest election in recent history, the election of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton, the restoration of borders nearer the Torah defined borders of the Jewish State (see maps below). The future will tell much but we have a feeling that the faster the world befriends Israel and no longer will works to erase the Jewish State, the better our futures turn out.

Modern Israel and Twelve Tribes of Israel

We hope that the world turning against Israel was defining the recent votes in the United Nations Security Council and General Assembly from the final year of the Presidency of Barack Obama and the first year of the Presidency of Donald Trump. With any fortune, we will slowly but surely receive more support from the world as that can only work to improve the world.
